I have an old Dell Poweredge T100 from my fathers old business running Windows Small Business server 2008, however I do not know the admin password nor do I have the boot/windows install disk. Is there any possible way to access the server or reset the admin password? Bare in mind, i'm not a tech wizzard, any help is greatly appreciated.
How can I access Windows SBS 2008 without the admin domain password or boot disk?
